The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001) 91% 5/5 EDIT “Much will be made of McKellen's performance, as it should be, considering his near perfect portrayal of the powerful spellcaster. Fresh off an excellent turn as Magneto in X-Men, he simply melts into the part.” – Arizona Republic Jan 13, 2026 Full Review Spider-Man (2002) 90% 4/5 EDIT “Spider-Man plays so much like a comic book, you can almost hear the pages rustle. ” – Arizona Republic Sep 24, 2025 Full Review Requiem for a Dream (2000) 80% 4/5 EDIT “Forget that this is an elegant, powerful movie, brilliantly directed by relative newcomer Darren Aronofsky...This is Burstyn's movie, pure and simple.” – Arizona Republic Aug 20, 2025 Full Review Jurassic Park III (2001) 49% 3/5 EDIT “JP3 is a perfectly serviceable chapter in the series. ” – Arizona Republic Jun 25, 2025 Full Review Mission: Impossible II (2000) 58% 3/5 EDIT “It's so busy being stylish that it forgets about common sense and story. ” – Arizona Republic May 8, 2025 Full Review Planet of the Apes (2001) 42% 4/5 EDIT “Planet of the Apes ranks as the spectacular movie of the summer, a wild, escapist ride that trumps the original with dazzling sets, funky costumes and some of the finest makeup work ever.” – Arizona Republic Apr 30, 2024 Full Review Almost Famous (2000) 91% 5/5 EDIT “Combining a terrific score with a clever story, Almost Famous is a high-energy road picture with a heart.” – Arizona Republic Mar 26, 2024 Full Review The Exorcist (1973) 78% 5/5 EDIT “It is carefully constructed, filled with nuance, designed to build fear one minute at a time. There can be no escape, no break, just the horror unfolding before your eyes. ” – Arizona Republic Sep 29, 2023 Full Review Y tu mamá también (2001) 90% 2/4 EDIT “Criticizing this movie for having too much sex is to miss the point. People will either accept the scenes or not, but Y tu mamá también suffers from a far worse affliction: There's not a single likeable character in the movie.” – Arizona Republic Sep 9, 2023 Full Review Moulin Rouge (2001) 75% 3/5 EDIT “Visually trippy, filled with lush sets and sweeping, over-the-top choreography, the film is a magnificent attempt at something but who knows what?” – Arizona Republic Aug 30, 2023 Full Review Traffic (2000) 93% 5/5 EDIT “Just a few minutes into Traffic, you sense that you're in for something special.” – Arizona Republic Aug 15, 2023 Full Review In the Mood for Love (2000) 92% 4/5 EDIT “Cheung says more with a look than most actresses convey in an hour of dialogue, and the eternal sadness in her eyes will stay with you long after you leave the theater.” – Arizona Republic Jul 15, 2023 Full Review Mulholland Dr. (2001) 84% 4/5 EDIT “A moody, atmospheric mind twister in the same vein as Lost Highway.” – Arizona Republic Jul 10, 2023 Full Review Gladiator (2000) 80% 3/5 EDIT “The new film has spectacular fight scenes in dazzling sets and a familiar story about honor and betrayal, courage and cowardice. It's the perfect vehicle for some old-fashioned sword-clanging fun. ” – Arizona Republic Nov 2, 2022 Full Review Girlfight (2000) 87% 3/5 EDIT “It's well-written and features a solid performance from Michelle Rodriguez in the leading role, but it's so unrelentingly morose that it becomes hard to watch.” – Arizona Republic Mar 24, 2021 Full Review Transformers (2007) 57% 4/5 EDIT “You'll find yourself rooting for computer-generated robots that magically transform into cars, trucks and fighter planes. It's selling the movie short to say the special effects are amazing -- they are out of this world.” – Arizona Republic Jul 2, 2007 Full Review Ratatouille (2007) 96% 4.5/5 EDIT “Like the burbling soup that plays a key part in Ratatouille, the movie is a delectable blend of ingredients that tickles the palette and leaves you hungry for more.” – Arizona Republic Jun 28, 2007 Full Review Sicko (2007) 91% 5/5 EDIT “A compelling, tear-jerking look at a vital piece of our infrastructure gone awry.” – Arizona Republic Jun 28, 2007 Full Review Live Free or Die Hard (2007) 82% 3.5/5 EDIT “Director Len Wiseman never lets the movie slow down enough for us to think about what's happening. And he gives us some amusing things to keep us occupied, including one particularly fitting cameo.” – Arizona Republic Jun 26, 2007 Full Review A Mighty Heart (2007) 79% 3/5 EDIT “The only drama comes in the waiting, which eventually becomes tiresome.” – Arizona Republic Jun 23, 2007 Full Review Evan Almighty (2007) 24% 3.5/5 EDIT “Somehow this boat floats along, a lasting tribute to lightweight construction.” – Arizona Republic Jun 21, 2007 Full Review 1408 (2007) 80% 4/5 EDIT “The story features some surprises, and director Mikael Håfström adds realism by bypassing computer graphics for practical effects. Add in the natural fear of being trapped in tight spaces and you have a can't-miss formula for horror and suspense.” – Arizona Republic Jun 21, 2007 Full Review Day Watch (2006) 62% 3/5 EDIT “Every bit as puzzling as its predecessor, but it's shot in such a bold, crazy way that you have to admire its pure audacity.” – Arizona Republic Jun 14, 2007 Full Review Nancy Drew (2007) 50% 3/5 EDIT “Nancy Drew is a lark but nothing more, asking little from the audience while it flits from scene to scene.” – Arizona Republic Jun 14, 2007 Full Review Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007) 38% 2/5 EDIT “Beyond a few good special-effects sequences - notably the Human Torch chasing the Silver Surfer between skyscrapers, the movie is uniformly vanilla. When the heroes aren't polishing their super-skills, they sit around and complain about their lot in life.” – Arizona Republic Jun 14, 2007 Full Review
